Ingredients
-
8 heads Belgian endive, trimmed
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 cup milk
-
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese, divided
-
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
-
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or amount to taste
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
8 slices deli-style ham
-
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
Lightly grease a baking dish.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the endives into the water. Cover, and cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Place the butter into a saucepan, and melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and golden brown. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture, whisking constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in 3/4 cup Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well blended. Cook gently over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
-
Preheat an oven broiler to low.
-
Drain the endives. Wrap each endive with a slice of ham, and place into the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the endives. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere cheese and parsley.
-
Cook the endives under preheated broiler until cheese is golden brown and sauce bubbles, about 10 minutes.
